5 Bridge Line Spacing Multiplier

Lines of extruded plastic on the first layer of a bridge are narrower than lines of extrusion that rest on another layer because they cannot be squashed into a lower layer. This setting offers the opportunity to print those lines closer together, so that they can overlap. MakerBot Desktop determines the amount of overlap by multiplying extrusion width by the value set for bridgeSpacingMultiplier and using that value as the expected extrusion width. This results in the slicer spacing the lines of extrusion as if they are smaller than they actually are. This feature is experimental and may not be helpful. To have the lines on the first layer of a bridge print with normal spacing, set bridgeSpacingMultiplier to 1.00.

13 Spacing between Breakaway Support and Model Floor

19 Shells overlap multiplier

This defines the space between each pair of adjacent shells. The number is a multiplier of the extrusion width. Set this under 1.00 to have the insets overlap, and over 1.00 for gaps between the insets. In general, it's best to have the insets overlap slightly.

21 Split Long Moves

If both a tight curve and part of a long, straight line are included in a Dynamic Speed Detection Window, the average change in degrees per millimeter may not be large enough to trigger a Dynamic Speed slowdown. This setting fixes this problem by splitting each long move into sections and treating them as separate moves. When set to true, every long move will be split into segments of the length set in the splitMinimumDistance setting. If splitting a long move does not trigger a Dynamic Speed change, the segments will be recombined. If you choose to split long moves into small segments, be aware that they may increase the size of your print file.

25 Infill Spacing Multiplier

Adjacent lines in roof, floor and solid infill need to overlap slightly to form a continuous surface. The MakerBot slicer determines the amount of overlap by multiplying extrusion width by the value set for gridSpacingMultiplier and using that value as the expected extrusion width. This results in the slicer spacing the lines of extrusion as if they are smaller than they actually are.
